The International Media Awards are annual awards, presented in London, to celebrate high standards of Middle East journalism. The awards are presented at a ceremony held each year by the International Council for Press and Broadcasting, a subsidiary body of the Next Century Foundation. The awards honour editors and journalists, in recognition of the vital role that the media can play in fostering understanding, the essential pre-requisite of any peace process. William Morris, Secretary-General of the Next Century Foundation explains: "By publicly recognising the efforts of these editors and journalists, some of whom have put their careers and even their lives at risk through their commitment to reporting truthfully and responsibly, we hope to help raise the standards of journalism in reporting on the Arab Israeli conflict" The awards are divided into several categories: *The ''Peace through Media'' prizes are for senior journalists, who have contributed to better understanding throughout their careers, and comprise the symbolic gift of an olive tree. *The ''Cutting Edge'' prizes are for journalists recognised for their high standards of analysis and reporting, often in conflict situations, and take the form of a cash donation. *The ''Breakaway'' prize is for young journalists, who have already begun to make an impact at the beginning of their careers. ==The 2005 awards== The 2005 awards were held on 19 April 2005 at the British House of Lords. For the first ceremony, only three awards were handed out and not divided into separate categories. The winners were: *Richard Beeston, Diplomatic Editor of ''The Times''. In recognition of his high standards of reporting and the quality of his news analysis, which of itself promotes understanding. *Ari Rath, former Editor and Managing Director of ''The Jerusalem Post''; currently News Editor of Partners for Peace, the voice of the Copenhagen Group. His award is in recognition of a lifetime of achievement and tireless work for rapprochement and peace. *Abdul Rahman al Rashed, Head of Al Arabia Satellite News TV, Dubai and former Editor-in-Chief of ''Al Sharq al Awsat''. His award was in recognition of his efforts to maintain the highest standards of professional integrity in countering incitement and disinformation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Media Awards」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
